Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 1
We rowed our canoe to day 50 miles & spent the night in a place called the Cadron there were a number
of good Houses built & all was deserted it was said the place was haunted we went into a house that
must have cost $3 or $4000, that was called the worst Haunted house there was not a human being
in many miles of the place but ourselves we built up a good fire rosted a peace of pig & ate it with some
corn dugar [sugar] givien us in the morning by a poor woman we asked a blessing & prayed then climbed
into one of the chambers on the starirs were broaken down we lay down upon the floor it was a cold
night we had nothing to cover us I soon fell asleep without any regard to the gosts that haunted the
place I dreamed that I called at My Fathers House & my step Mother made me up a good Feather
bed I lay down upon it & had a good nap & rested me well. I did not awake untill near sun-
rise when instead of Finding myself upon a Feather bed at My Fathers House in Farmington Ct
I was lying my back against a bare deserted, Haunted, chamber wall on the Bank of the Arkansas
River quite cold & chilly I awoke Brother Brown we arose not having been disturbed by Ghosts
